Was disappointed they are not meant for heavy weight lifting. They look good overall (including the palm area). I got a medium pair and they fit me a little tight around the thumb area (For your reference: Measurement from tip of my middle-finger to bottom of my palm/wrist is 7 inches.). The more I wear them, the easier they come off. I've had them for about a month and it seems they will last for a while. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a light-weight workout glove/cross-trainers. 4.5 stars is a more fitting rating.

I've only just started lifting weights again recently, and was perfectly happy with the Harbinger mesh-back gloves I originally purchased. However, after losing a glove, I purchased these Nike gloves as a replacement only 2 weeks ago based on stellar reviews they received here, and there's a HUGE difference between them.
In such a short period of time, the Nike gloves have already had their stitching start to come unraveled at the wrists and fingertips, and they don't provide nearly the same amount of comfort and padding for lifting heavier weights. On top of that, in order to get them tight enough to be useful, they also leave unsightly seam-lines on your hands after you remove them, like your hands have been asleep in wrinkled sheets for however long you've been lifting.
They also look like golf gloves.
I'm sure these are fine for moderate workouts, but if you're looking to move more serious poundage, you'd be better off doing what I'm going to do right now, which is spend a little less money on some sturdier Harbingers.

Like the other reviews said, these just aren't meant for heavy (even mid-weight) lifting. I did an upper body workout and my hands even hurt the next day, which is a first. Back to Harbinger...
Honest reviews on Nike Men's Core Lock Training Gloves
Excellent, light weight gloves. They have a nice snug fit, Sizes run true. Just enough padding on the palms to get a nice cushioned grip without a lot of extra bulk. The velcro strap is nice and doesn't cut into my wrist. Fairly easy to get on and off. I highly recommend these gloves for an all around training glove. Not so much if you'll be doing heavy bench presses or competitions because of having no wrist support.

These gloves fit well. Only problem is there isn't much padding in the palms and your hands still get torn up when lifting or doing pull-ups.
